Opening

I notice that the paragraph content appears to be missing – I only see "(For 352.)" which seems to be a reference number or note rather than the actual paragraph text to be rewritten.

Could you please provide the full paragraph that you'd like me to rewrite in clear, modern English?

(For 352.)

When the Israelites went out and crossed through Egypt, their enemies became the playthings of the sea; but now, when we pass over from earth to Heaven, Satan himself falls like lightning from Heaven.

And at that time when they went forth and crossed over Egypt, their enemies were the sport of the sea; but now, when we pass over from earth to Heaven, Satan himself henceforth falls like lightning from Heaven.
